Investor KITAS E28A in Indonesia: PT PMA, Requirements and Costs – Visa Agency

Investor KITAS E28A in Indonesia: PT PMA, Requirements and Costs

E28A (formerly C313/C314) is an Indonesian investor visa leading to a limited stay permit (ITAS, commonly called KITAS). The available terms are one or two years. You need a qualifying shareholding in the PT PMA company that sponsors you. If you already hold the required shares in an eligible company, start by asking us to review its documents. After your Investor KITAS is issued, eligible family members, including a spouse, children or parents, can apply separately for a Dependent KITAS.

See the two-year E28A Investor KITAS package or contact Flado to check your route and documents.

PT PMA and E28A: check three different amounts

A PT PMA is an Indonesian company with foreign investment. Before registering it or changing its deed, check which of these requirements applies to the company, the project and each investor:

  • At least IDR 10 billion in shares per E28A applicant. The shares must be in the sponsoring PT PMA and reflected in the investment authority’s records. Check Article 38 of the visa regulation. The total capital of the company does not replace proof of your own shares.
  • At least IDR 2.5 billion in subscribed and paid-up capital per PT PMA under the general company rule, unless a specific rule provides otherwise. This minimum does not on its own qualify a shareholder for E28A.
  • Generally more than IDR 10 billion in planned investment per five-digit KBLI business activity and project location, excluding land and buildings under the general rule. Sector exceptions apply. See Article 26 of Investment Ministry/BKPM Regulation 5/2025.

Flado can help check your business activity code (KBLI), location and whether a virtual office is suitable, then coordinate the notarial deed, company approval, OSS registration, NIB and any required licences. Once the company and its share records are ready, we check the company’s sponsorship and prepare the E28A application. Immigration decides whether to issue the visa.

E28A permits investor activities and director or commissioner duties in the company you invest in, within the permitted scope. Other employment needs the appropriate authorization. If your shares are below the E28A threshold and you will act as a director or commissioner, check the work visa route for that role.

Applying from outside Indonesia (offshore)

Choose this route if you will be outside Indonesia for the offshore application. If you are already in Indonesia and want to stay while applying, read the onshore section first.

Applicant documents

  • Passport biodata page: the ordinary passport must be valid for at least six months at application. Check the required validity for your requested term and route.
  • Recent colour photograph in digital format.
  • Proof of living expenses: prepare a bank statement for the last three months. The published Immigration minimum is USD 2,000 or equivalent; our document checklist may ask you to prepare USD 3,000 or equivalent for review. Confirm whether your account or the guarantor’s account is appropriate.
  • Curriculum vitae (CV) and travel itinerary as required for the application.

Company and sponsor documents

  • Ministry approval of the company’s legal incorporation (SK Pengesahan AHU).
  • Notarial deed and articles of association (Akta), including all relevant amendments.
  • Business Identification Number (Nomor Induk Berusaha / NIB) in OSS.
  • The applicable business or operational licences for the registered activity.
  • Company tax number (NPWP) and tax status confirmation (KSWP), where requested.
  • Latest investment activity report (LKPM), if due for the company.
  • Foreign director’s passport and ITAS, or KTP of the Indonesian director or authorised representative, as applicable.
  • Proof of the applicant’s qualifying shares and the company’s guarantee letter.
  • Corporate bank statements for the last two months. Under Article 38, if the company is not yet more than two months old, the statements are submitted to Immigration within 90 days after the ITAS is issued. Check this procedure before filing.
  • Company stamp, if needed for the documents (find a stamp maker).

Offshore application steps

  • Set up or verify the sponsor: register a PT PMA if needed, or check the existing company’s documents, eligible shares and eVisa sponsor account.
  • File the e-visa application: send Flado the full documents. We coordinate submission through the company’s sponsor account to the Directorate General of Immigration. Wait for approval and the E28A e-visa before travelling.
  • Enter Indonesia: use the visa by the entry deadline shown on it (normally within 90 days of issue). The electronic ITAS and re-entry permit are normally issued upon admission. Follow the officer’s instructions, check the issued permits and your email, and contact us if they do not appear. This older airport video is for reference; a sticker or a separate exchange within 30 days is not the standard procedure.

For a C1 (formerly 211A), C2 or another visit category, check the sponsor and remaining stay before paying. VOA and eVOA cannot be converted directly; eligible holders can apply through a Bridging Visa. If an in-country route is unavailable, see the offshore application.

  • The company meets the investment and capital rules for its business activity and location. See the three thresholds above.
  • The company has its NIB, applicable business licences, tax details and representative ID; the LKPM is available where due.

Applicant and current stay documents

  • Application and guarantee letters from the sponsoring company.
  • Passport biodata page, valid for at least six months; confirm the specific filing requirement.
  • Current visit permit and entry details. We check the previous sponsor and the company’s NIB; provide any BKPM recommendation or sponsor release letter only if required for your case.

  • Confirm the route: we check your current permit and sponsor, prepare the guarantee letters and supporting copies, and file for the appropriate change of status or Bridging Visa where needed.
  • Attend the Immigration appointment: bring the original passport if requested and attend for photo, fingerprints or other checks as instructed.

Price for changing to a two-year Investor KITAS E28A in Indonesia

We assist with onshore applications in Bali and Jakarta. The table shows the published Bali rate; confirm the Jakarta rate and any Bridging Visa or sponsor-related costs before paying. If you do not yet have an eligible company, see our PT PMA registration service first.

The offshore KITAS fee is lower. Compare it with the cost of travel and the time you may need to spend abroad while Immigration processes the application. Wait for the e-visa to be issued before planning to re-enter on it.

Renewing a two-year Investor KITAS E28A

We handle this renewal while you are in Indonesia, in Bali or Jakarta. Contact us about two months before expiry and aim to have the documents ready four to six weeks before expiry, especially if the company, passport or address has changed. See extension options in the Flado portal. Prepare the following:

  • Valid passport with at least six months remaining; confirm the filing requirement. If you have a new passport, check whether you need to report the passport change (mutasi paspor) before renewal. Allow about one extra week if it is a separate procedure.
  • Updated company deed and approval (Perubahan Akta) if the company details have changed.
  • KTP of the authorised company representative or staff member; for Bali, prepare a local KTP if the office requests it.
  • Banjar domicile letter or SKTT residence document matching your registered address, where requested. Flado can assist in some cases.
  • If you moved, check whether you must report the change of address (mutasi alamat) first. Allow about a week if processed separately.
  • Company stamp if needed (find a stamp maker).
  • The current e-ITAS and the relevant documents from the new-application checklist, including company and shareholder records and the sponsor’s guarantee. Attend the photo or biometric appointment as instructed by Immigration.

ServiceFlado fee in Bali (IDR)
Two-year Investor KITAS E28A renewal18,450,000

Older companies with amended deeds: Flado’s published renewal terms list an additional IDR 3,000,000 setup fee for companies established before 2025 that amended their deeds to document the qualifying shareholding. Ask whether this applies to your case. This is a Flado service fee.

Processing times

  • Onshore: allow about 3–4 weeks for a change of status once your case is ready. Company setup, sponsor changes or a Bridging Visa can add time.
  • Offshore: allow about 5–10 working days from complete submission, excluding company preparation and travel. These are Flado estimates; Immigration sets the decision date.

Travel, closing your KITAS and moving to KITAP

  • Multiple entry: you may leave and re-enter Indonesia while both the ITAS and its re-entry permit are valid.
  • Renew or close the permit: contact us about two months before renewal is due, or about two weeks before departure if you need to close the KITAS through EPO.
  • Investor KITAP (ITAP): this is a separate status change. The national rule generally requires at least three consecutive years of qualifying residence for investors. The West Jakarta Immigration checklist, for example, asks for proof of at least IDR 15 billion in personal shares. Check your office’s requirements before planning a conversion to KITAP.
